Q: TTB alignment

asked by on August 30, 2016

I replaced my passenger side caster/camber bushing with an aftermarket adjustable unit in order to align my front end. It seems the adjuster moves frequently and i have to keep readjusting it back to proper position. Is this a common occurrence? Did I install it incorrectly?

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hey there, thanks for writing in about your 1993 Ford Bronco. This is not common. You should have a lock that locks the adjuster in place after the alignment is done. It should not move once the lock nut is tightened down.
